Nationalities don’t mean anything

Many people will come to an instructor but, most of them, they say, “Hey man, like what is the truth? You know, would you hand it over to me?” So, therefore, one guy would say now, “I’ll give you the Japanese way of doing it.” And another guy would say “I’ll give you the Chinese way of doing it.” But to me that’s all baloney because unless there are men with three hands or there are men with four legs, then there [cannot be] a different way of doing it. But since we only have two hands and two legs, nationalities don’t mean anything.

A constant process of relating

When I see a Japanese martial artist, for example, I can see the advantage and I can see the disadvantage. In that sense, I am relating to him. Man is living in a relationship, and in relationships we grow.

Because martial art is my career, I want to use it as a means to express my ideals. A real fighter should fight for righteousness. Moreover, when he decides to fight, he must be sincere and fight wholeheartedly to the end. Only in such a way can he develop good character and total truth and sincerity.
